Hi jayseye, I was a long time Slackware user until there were concerns over Patrick Volkerdings' health around that time, when I switched to Arch, which I ran for quite a while - until the whole "rolling release" thing got in the way of work :-) Lately (past 5 years) I have been a Mac use...

Hello, I have the BCM4313 and I use the BROADCOM STA, and it works perfectly for me. I just used Sourcery to install it and as far as I remember I didn't have any problems installing it through there. Did you already try it (instead of downloading the source and compiling using SlackBuild)? Also, fo...

Making configuration is the fun part! You don't want other people doing that for you (there's gotta be a limit to how 'lazy' you can be). For customization ideas, you can see eg: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45692 (Sorry for all the links to Arch, but I've used it for a long time, and ...

I haven't looked too much into details about the specifics, but if you're having problems with wicd, then you could try network manager. You can install it using gslapt.

I don't think it was anything to do with the filesystem though. Could you tell me what specific Dell laptop it is? And wha...

I just fixed up Openbox & Tint2 panel with VLC and Orage running... http://sapeden.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/apple-screenshot.png Have you considered gsimplecal as orage alternative? I like it a lot, since I don't use many of the features that come with orage (I just want to quickly see a cal...

There is so many different window managers, tiling or stacking, and one isn't better than the other. We can get into "which WM is the best" argument, but ultimately there is no point. As mimosa said, there is already a Ratpoison edition, which I've never seen with any other distro, so that...

@Tim Cowchip: Wonderful utility lxappearance , thank you! In addition to displaying all the cursor themes, it automatically previews each one as you highlight it... I'd hesitated at first, assuming it would have too many dependencies; though in fact they were already fully satisfied in Salix Fluxbo...
